Strictly Vetted Dealers

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.

Secure Transit

Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.

The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

This pair of late 19th-century French Sevres style porcelain lamps in the Napoleon III style brings a classic chateau aesthetic to interiors. Each lamp comprises a deep pink porcelain body with hand-painted courting vignettes on the front, classical scrolling gilded ornamentation, and gilt bronze caryatid handles. The bases rest on squared plinth supports and are topped with pleated cream silk shades. Measuring 53 cm high, 24 cm wide, and 18 cm deep, these table lamps provide functional illumination and decorative presence when placed on a sideboard top in a living room, hallway, or dining room. The matching pair operates as ambient lighting while serving as ornamental centrepieces on any flat surface. The contrasting gilt bronze mounts, delicate painted figural panels, and textured fabric shades create a layered visual effect suited to traditional or formal residential spaces.

FAQs

Sevres style porcelain lighting refers to 19th-century ceramic pieces created in the manner of the famous French Royal Manufactory of Sevres, typically featuring rich ground colours, elaborate gilding, and hand-painted romantic scenes.

These pieces feature porcelain bodies decorated with overglaze enamels and gold leaf gilding, mounted onto heavy cast gilt-bronze or ormolu bases and handles.

Period examples display finely detailed hand painting rather than printed transfers, heavy cast ormolu mounts with crisp hand-chasing, and natural age-related oxidisation on the metal components.

Positioning a matching pair on a modern sideboard, console table, or bedside tables creates symmetrical balance while providing an ornate focal point against neutral backdrops.

Dust gently with a soft microfibre cloth, avoid harsh chemical cleaners that can lift gilding or surface enamels, and clean metal elements using a dry brush to prevent moisture accumulation.
